Waterfall in Coed Hafod-y-Llyn

Highlight • Forest

This remote and ethereal ancient oak woodland was once part of a historic estate and slopes gently towards Llyn Mair (Mary's Lake). A network of trails offers spectacular views across Snowdonia National Park, while steam trains from the iconic Ffestiniog Railway wind along the border.
With rare wildlife and an abundance of beautiful flora, Coed Hafod y Llyn is the perfect forest destination for train enthusiasts and nature lovers.

Great walk through a variety of tree species and easy to follow path. Would recommend going anti clockwise/reverse of suggested route as scenery coming back through gorge is stunning (with the bridge as a nice suprise at the end) and easier downhill as plenty of small steps. If taking a dog then be aware there is/are sheep grazing along the route but no stiles or fences to climb if you have a large dog but there are very steep banks/drops along the gorge so recommend keeping on a lead if they are a bit hectic! Would not recommend unless you have a basic level of fitness as some parts of the path are extremely steep.

Pistyll Gwyn Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

In my opinion, a body of water enriches every tour. If it presents itself as spectacularly as it sounds, all the better!

Small Waterfall in Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri

Highlight • Natural Monument

Less a waterfall, more a series of rapids set in beautiful woodland where the Afon Ysgethin rushes downhill towards the sea.

Coed Hafod-y-llyn is an ethereal ancient oak woodland that rises from the shores of Llyn Mair. A network of trails explore the woodland and steam trains chug along its boundary. The woodland is a great place to spot wildlife. Keep a lookout for birds including redstart, pied flycatcher, osprey, goshawk and wood warbler. It’s also a great place for mammals and provides a habitat for foxes, badgers, horseshoe bats and the elusive pine marten.
